FLAGSTAFF, AZ - The Weber State Wildcats redeemed themselves against Northern Arizona on Monday, March 8th in Flagstaff, Arizona. The Wildcats came out victorious in a tough 3-1 battle against the Lumberjacks.
"This weekend was a true challenge of our merit," said women's head coach, Jeremiah Larsen. "Northern Arizona is a very good volleyball team and played great."
The Wildcats came out hard in the first set, going up early against the Lumberjacks and earning some hard-fought points. Weber State played good defense, and kept Northern Arizona to 17 points. The Wildcats took the set 25-17.
NAU gave WSU a harder time in the second set, and got out ahead of Weber State early. However, the Wildcats climbed their way back mid-set and the score stayed close until the end of the set. Though the 'Cats fought hard, the Lumberjacks took the second set 25-18.
The third and fourth sets proved to be close and tough battles between the no. 1 Wildcats and no. 2 Lumberjacks. The third set finished 25-20 for Weber State and the match moved into the fourth set. Both teams proved how badly they wanted the victory and the set went all the way to 30-28 before a winner was crowned. Weber State took the victory 3-1.
"I am proud of how our women responded today after a poor effort Sunday. What a huge win against a very good volleyball team."
Weber State improves to 11-1 on the season, and continues to be first in the Big Sky Conference standings.
The Wildcats will travel to Pocatello, Idaho to take on the Idaho State Bengals on Saturday, March 13th, and Sunday, March 14th.
